I prefer physical books over the rest, because who doesn't like the pleasant rustling sound of crisp paper, the fresh parchment like smell of new books, and the novelty of holding a book in your hand, even if just to show off what you are doing. Audiobooks, nah ! I can't stand hearing for too long, I'd rather read it myself. But e- books, I can stand them. More convenient, I think. You can take them anywhere you like on your gadget, especially when you don't want anybody to know t hat you are reading. You do not have luggage with you, but you still have plenty of books with you. But honestly, I prefer physical books any day if I don't have to worry about luggage or rudeness (I can be rude enough to read while watching a movie, so e-books are my go-to option and friend when I am attempting to do it and still be nice) and if I had a mansion of my own and one wish granted by a genie, I would ask for the entire mansion to be an library for unlimited reading, with all the books in the world.

Yes, this is precisely how I enjoy Audiobooks! If I'm at home, I prefer to hold a physical copy. However, as you mentioned, listening to an Audiobook while going for a drive can be such a pleasant experience. What have you been listening to lately?

Most of my books are physical books, I will always love how a book feels in my hand and the smell of a book is so calming. I do have some E-Books but not a lot. As far as audiobooks, I tried them once, bought two, got about 5 minutes into the first and just could not do it. I get too distracted. Physical books are my favorite.
